We will be driving down from NC for our first trip and need to know how early we can arrive?”

Hi, Kelly! You're going to LOVE this answer! On the day of your arrival, you will want to go straight to your resort to check in and get your Key to the World card (room key, park tickets, and dining plan card, if applicable). You may check in at ANYTIME that day, but your room may not be available until the regular check-in time (usually 3:00 P.M.). The Cast Member assisting you with check-in will ask for a contact number, and they will notify you where your room is when it is available and ready for you. Then you can hit the parks and take in as much as you can . Have a great time at Walt Disney World!
